School Song
The Mergenthaler School song was penned in by the president of the senior class of 1955. The Song is performed by the Mergenthaler Mass Choir before each school assembly after the playing of The Star Spangled Banner. The lyrics are as follows:
- Mergenthaler, Mergenthaler. To thy colors we'll be true
- In the Shining Sun lies thy gold, In the Heavens thy Royal Blue.
- From the earth we grew to meet the sky, is there any wonder why?
- Our love burns strong for MVT! And the embers never die.
- Alma Mater, Alma Mater, thy glories we will sing.
- Let thy Mergenthaler praises echo as our voices ring.
- For we love the spacious campus, and our spirit staunch and true.
- All the symbols that God gave to me! Wrought in Gold and Royal Blue.

“But see, the Virgin blest
Hath laid her Babe to rest:
Time is our tedious song should here have ending;
Heaven’s youngest teemed star,
Hath fixed her polished car,
Her sleeping Lord with handmaid lamp attending;
And all about the courtly stable,
Bright-harnessed angels sit in order serviceable.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
